From here on the episode consists of lengthy flashbacks interspersed with current events: we see Aeryn and Velorek arriving on Moya, with Pilot as the cargo of their ship. Velorek is a technical specialist in charge of bonding the new Pilot to Moya, while Aeryn has been pulled off Prowler duty to act as Velorek's personal chauffeur, which she is unhappy about. To add insult to injury, just seconds after Crais ignores her attempts to get herself reassigned, she's accosted by two other members of the firing squad, who mock "the high and mighty little Prowler pilot" for not helping them dig the Old Pilot's corpse out, and smear guts across her cheek for good measure.
